If you have seen my flickr stream, you may have already seen a photo similar to this. I took one about a week before the challenge that I liked so much, I had to replicate for the challenge. I did actually try various other lamps, but kept coming back to this one.

Woah! My first ribbon. I couldn't believe my eyes when I woke up and this photo was just first being voted on, I have a 7.03. During voting it dropped to as low as a 6.64 and back up into the 7's at one point. Thank you all for the great votes and comments!
